Q

Mowrers two-factor model of anxiety disorders

A
  1. classical conditioning: learn to fear a neutral stimulus that is paired with an intrinsically aversive stimulus (UCS)
  2. operant conditioning: avoiding the CS -> relief -> avoiding responce -> behaviour aanpassen
26
Q

3 brein onderdelen die een invloed hebben op anxiety

A

amygdala
medial prefrontal cortex
neurotransmitters

27
Q

amygdala anxiety

A

assigns emotional significance to stimuli, involved in the fear circuit

anxiety = meer activity in amygdala tijdens threatening stimulus

28
Q

medial prefrontal cortex

A

helps to regulate amygdala activity:
- extinguishing fear
- emotion regulation strategies

anxiety=less activation in medial prefrontal cortex

29
Q

neurotransmitters

A

GABA inhibits anxiety, is downregulated.
serotonin helps modulate emotions, is disrupted
norepinephrine activates fight or flight (sympathetic nervous system), is increased

30
Q

personality and anxiety

A

behavioural inhibition (early-appearing temperament characterized by strong reactions to novelty) and neuroticism are strong predictors for anxiety

31
Q

neuroticism ook voor depressie

A

oke

32
Q

cognitive factors that affect anxiety

A
  • sustained negative beliefs about the future
  • perceived lack of control
  • attention to threat
  • intolerance of uncertainty
33
Q

perceived lack of control uitleg

A

traumatic events may promote a view that life is uncontrollable

34
Q

little albert

A

rat, loud noise, began to cry whenever he saw the rat

35
Q

prepared learning

A

a species-specific and inborn propensity to rapidly acquire a particular kind of insight.

door evolutie hebben we een circuit of fear -> learn stimuli quickly

36
Q

social anxiety 2 factor model

A

negative social experience -> classically conditioned to fear similar situations -> avoiding -> relief -> operant conditioning -> avoidance behaviour is maintained

37
Q

cognitive factors of social anxiety

A

unrealistically negative beliefs about consequences of social behaviour
they attend more to how they are doing in social situations and own internal sensations than other people do

38
Q

panic disorder neurobiological factors

A

locus coeruleus in fear circuit -> norepinephrine production -> triggers sympathetic nervous system activity -> panic attack?

39
Q

behavioural factors of panic attacks

A

panic attacks are triggered by internal bodily sensations of arousal -> classically conditioned responseto situations that trigger the anxiety or the internal bodily sensations of arousal

= interoceptive conditioning

40
Q

cognitive factors in panic disorder

A

panic attacks develop when a person interprets their body signals as inevitable doom -> thoughts increase anxiety -> physical sensations -> vicious cycle

41
Q

anxiety sensitivity index

A

extent to which people respond fearfully to bodily sensations, can predict the onset of a panic attack

42
Q

genetic factors of panic attack

A

genes may shape stress responses and hypersensitivity to somatic changes, which could increase risk of panic disorder

43
Q

fear-of-fear hypothesis

A

agoraphobia: bang om bang te worden, dus je krijgt anxiety over de consequences van anxiety in public

44
Q

ethiology of GAD: contrast avoidance model

A

worrying -> avoiding unpleasant emotions they think are worse than feeling anxiety. -> chronic state of worry and distress, more stable emotional state than very intense responses to stimuli (voelt veiliger)

The Contrast avoidance model (CAM) suggests that individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) avoid negative emotional contrasts (shifts) by creating and sustaining negative emotions through worry, and the main fear in these individuals is negative emotional contrasts.

45
Q

anxiety treatment vaak…

A

exposure!

46
Q

A

list of triggers
exposure hierarchy

  • relaxation techniques (behavioural)
  • strategies to help tolerate uncertainty (cognitive)
50
Q
